asciilifeform stopped reading after that

asciilifeform: 'Cl-async has swapped its backend from libevent to libuv. Please see the v0.6.x upgrade guide if you have not already. There are a number of reasons for swapping out libevent: Libuv is more actively maintained......'

asciilifeform: and the thing about tardation is that it is highly contagious

asciilifeform: !

asciilifeform: the maggots only come when the corpse is already a corpse.

asciilifeform: the mistake here is 'there are maggots in this corpse, they killed the poor fella'

asciilifeform: ahahahahahaha

asciilifeform: phf: care to elaborate ?

asciilifeform did not know about politics of sbcl

asciilifeform: i've arrived at the point where i believe any system where any such thing is necessary, to be braindamaged beyond redemption

asciilifeform: why cmucl rather than sbcl ?

asciilifeform: certainly not for a project with my name attached.

asciilifeform: and still wouldn't do it again today.

asciilifeform: i did this

asciilifeform: phf: i can't fathom why any sane person would voluntarily use a proprietary compiler today

asciilifeform: (there even is a mac port, i have not tried it)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: go straight to the symbolics emulator for that

asciilifeform: 'turd' ☟︎

asciilifeform: i think the technical term for this, is

asciilifeform: if you say it five time, he... climacses ?

asciilifeform: if i wanted to feel keypress delay, i'd install ms-office.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: last i tried climacs, i barfed from 1) PALPABLE keypress delays 2) athena

asciilifeform: trinque: post recipe at some point ?

asciilifeform: trinque: neato

asciilifeform: motherfucker built on NO machine i could find.

asciilifeform: at least not of a few yrs ago when i last saw

asciilifeform: oh and 'Smoke' doesn't work

asciilifeform: what happens ?

asciilifeform: and say i want to populate a listbox with a lisp list

asciilifeform tried this roughly a decade ago, gave up in disgust

asciilifeform: may as well go in the opposite direction, embed, e.g., 'tinyscheme', in a cpp turd. ☟︎

asciilifeform: the impedance mismatch between all the idiot crud qt expects (own lists, hashes, etc.) and anything sane, is atrocious

asciilifeform: as featured in clim.

asciilifeform: if it doesn't matter what it looks like, at all, can use the horrendous x11 'athena' widgets

asciilifeform: if you want anything like native-looking gui, it's qt with gasmask, or nothing at all ☟︎

asciilifeform: there used to be 'wx' but afaik - dead

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: tried it?

asciilifeform: 'Я по радио влюбилась, я по радио женилась, а потом по радио дочка родилась' (tm) (r) (song)

asciilifeform: one variant.

asciilifeform: (how to break the gaussian contour of the can so radio works, is exercise for the reader)

asciilifeform: and, for that matter, why not fill the can with trotyl, squib, and radio, ~at the bottling plant~ ?

asciilifeform: why not one hole ?

asciilifeform: but why was it necessary to cut the whole bottom off and glue back?

asciilifeform: so, sure, the claim implied by photo is that the can was filled from the bottom

asciilifeform: one thing i don't get

asciilifeform: ru rags had photo.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=18-11-2015#1326494 ☝︎

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: and watering lawns is mandatory there.

asciilifeform: let'em ~attract~ idiots instead of leaving matters to chance

asciilifeform: and how come nobody ever placed small qty of gold or other valuable into mines ?

asciilifeform: 'In southern Africa, it has cost lives. According to a regional and especially cruel variation of the legend, the substance is found in conventional military munitions, particularly land mines, there to be claimed by anyone daring enough to take them apart and extract the goods.' << brilliant and ought to be encouraged

asciilifeform: '‘‘Specific machines,’’ he said, ‘‘with a butterfly logo on them.’’ He said he knew this from experience because the red mercury used in the jihadists’ chlorine experiment in Ras al-Ain had come from his grandmother’s machine.' << l0lzy

asciilifeform: 'Another time, a French jihadist hired him to find a Turkish domestic cat; Syrian cats, it seemed, were not the friendly sort.' << l0l!!

asciilifeform: and what is the required dose.

asciilifeform: i forget, does magical red mercury convert goats to houri prior to fucking ?

asciilifeform: run moar jihadcrypt (tm) (r) on winblowz, take more gps selfies, eat moar redmercury...

asciilifeform: and these are the folks mircea_popescu tells us are the alternative to decaying west.

asciilifeform: *lengthy

asciilifeform: could've sworn we did a length thread re: this philosopher's stone in 2013

asciilifeform: !s red mercury

asciilifeform: l0l i think i saw this one!

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: hardbound illustrated hca << getting son started on 'little matchgirl' et al early ?

asciilifeform: butcher was his friend. until thanksgiving came << h. c. andersen had same story, at some length elaborated, but with a pig and christmas

asciilifeform: the anecdote is that once upon a time, a peasant was selling a turkey, a rarity at the time; and that he knew that a parrot sells for 15 talers, he asked for 30, given as 'turkey is twice the size.' buyer asked, 'but parrot can talk, can your bird?' peasant replied: 'doesn't talk, but thinks 2x as much'

asciilifeform: the full version is 'turkey also thought, but ended in the soup anyway'

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the history of the saying 'the turkey also thought...' is possibly interesting

asciilifeform: ('without struggle, no victory')

asciilifeform: STREUGGLES to eat the damned mcflurries << Ohne Kampf kein Sieg (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: y'know, the place where i found 'the spittoon'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the ghost of alt.tasteless pines for you

asciilifeform: a non-idiot - higher-powered non-idiot.

asciilifeform: an idiot with sugar, meth, bulldozer, or computer, is a higher-powered idiot

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2014#808005 ☝︎

asciilifeform: see also the meth thread

asciilifeform: where it comes from, is another matter

asciilifeform: brain demands glucose.

asciilifeform: two-edged sword, this.

asciilifeform: running your brain.

asciilifeform: the other thing that these faux sugars won't do, is,

asciilifeform: neutrino male

asciilifeform: (to aficionados)

asciilifeform: http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/kenigtiger/503961/73043/73043_original.jpg << lulzy

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this goes way back.

asciilifeform: instead they show up and warm the chair, collect cheque

asciilifeform: not even certain that anybody, outside of hitler's general staff, 'aspires'

asciilifeform: and the 0days are typically worth far more than whatever crapola is being stolen at any given time

asciilifeform: hey they're burglars, not soldiers

asciilifeform: (if the names are nonsensical, complain to hitler, not me)

asciilifeform: aka 'foxacid' iirc

asciilifeform: was the official usg/leaked term for their db of browser exploits and automated sprayer for same

asciilifeform: l0l, mostly vanished from google

asciilifeform: (and planting 'ferret cannon')

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have this obsession with 'logging ips'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: botched installation of mitm crapola.

asciilifeform: and how many days' worth of gestapo click tone did phuctor get.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most plausible, from the story thus far, is that the switch got yanked

asciilifeform: unplugged but running on internal reactors, or what.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wai wut ?!!

asciilifeform: walk in and cart off whole dc

asciilifeform: ^ this is sop and it is how they typically bust 1,001 'tor onion' boxes after popping ~one~
